There is nothing in the Bible that
the author denies or doubts, but
there are many texts that he throws

That may be ii century off or it may
be only few years. Baxter says
that Il mistake Of Il hundred years
was made in the number OF years

that all modern chrOuOlOgistS adj
init il, aud that this is really 1887
instead OF 1887, aud that the 5000
years since the creation OF Adam
have nearly passed. Mr.. Russell
says that 5000 years must pass be-
tore Christ comes, and that they
have nearly passed. But we have d
good deal TO do and need not be
selling out or making white gar
ments for we are not going to as
cend up to heaven even if the mil
lennium does come. Jesus Christ
is going to descend down here and
set up his king iom, and we will
have TO live on aud work on under
IL government where not Il stain will

bitter thought nor an unkind word,
not an ache nor a pain, nor any de

that the earth will have abundant
